Energy Resources - Coggle Diagram

- - - - solar panels provide a renewable energy resource that does not produce greenhouse gas, If there are also electrical cuts, they are a good source for electricity as they do not cut off. They also dont look too big or produce much noise. Solar panels don't require much maintenance.
    - - farming land is lost when solar panels are assembled as they take up large amounts of land to be efficient. They also require to be regularly cleaned from dust to provide maximum capacity
    - - Both solar heating and light panels are reasonably efficient however they do not provide an efficiency more than 23%.
    - - Solar panels in general are quite pricey. they vary in a range of 20- 30 thousand dollars.
  - - - Windmills are renewable and provide a sufficient amount of energy With good conditions.
    - - Windmills are very large, they are also expensive and maintenance is also quite expensive. Windmills can also operate is specific regions and unlike solar, the wind is not constant sometimes winds are stronger and other times they are weaker. so efficiency is out of human control
    - - Wind turbines are very expensive.They vary from 2.5 - 4 million $.
    - - As explained before, the efficiency of the wind turbine depends on the wind conditions in the region, however they are in the range of efficiency 20 - 40%
  - - - Consistent energy, reliable and renewable
    - - Very, very, very expensive not all countries can afford them. They can spoil landscapes as well.
    - - Probably the most expensive of them all. On average costs about 1800 million $ to complete with all components.
    - - Very very efficient, Average about 90%
  - - - cheap, & efficient
    - - Depend on regions only few countries can adapt these systems
    - - Reasonably priced from 20-30 thousand dollars.
    - - not very efficent, 13-14%
  - - - Does not require much space
    - - Requires areas with a lot of tides, not onsistent
    - - Reasonably priced however require lots of study of location before assembling
    - - Very very efficient, Average about 80%
- - - - Quick to extract energy from
    - - Forms acid rain, non renewable and produces toxic greenhouse gases which increases the effects of global warming
    - - Not very expensive
    - - Around 45% effeciency
  - - - The energy produced from it is clean despite the fact it comes from a non renewable resource, and power is cheap
    - - the risk power plants imply, are very high, they are extremely radioactive and any leak in the plant can harm - kill living things.
    - - The cost for power is low however the nuclear power plants are expensive to build.
    - - Not very efficient, about 33-37%
